:laugh:laugh:laugh Didn't say I was going to buy one...just get to try one out hopefully.
H was going to ride a couple of brands and they carry Triumph as well. She's the one shopping after riding a Duke.:eek and then :evil was her impression

Part of the draw of some current scrambler offerings to me is the smaller naked bike that takes me back to when a Honda 160 was a big bike...and plenty of fun.

The Triumph and Yamaha offerings are similar in size and concept. If the FJR was lighter, I would have considered it when I purchased my R12RS.
 
Do the Ducati's still sound like lots of parts chattering away a wee bit shy on oil- when idling? :whistle

Rumors have begun to surface about who is bringing what to the Milan show to debut. There has been a great deal of buzz about Ducati. A bigger scrambler is rumored in the mix for 2017

Another Ducati Scrambler Is Coming
The Scrambler Ducati models started out as a bid to capture the budding crop of millennial riders, who eschew from the current crop of values and segments that prop-up the motorcycle industry. The Scrambler has become more for Ducati though, as it has given the Italian brand two things: 1) a […] The post Another Ducati Scrambler Is Coming appeared first on Asphalt & Rubber .

I have never owned a Duc but must admit to finding most of the silly sounds they make very appealing. The current scrambler felt a bit small for me. A slightly stretched out one to accomodate a 1100cc engine might be a Goldielocks sized bike.

Yes, the Ducati Scambler is small, compact, narrow and really cool looking. I'm 6'2', so it's not on my rader. Sometimes being vertically challenged is good.
